Probably <10% of KTT2 actually read that review in 2010 – 50% of the people here probably weren't even listening to hip-hop in 2010 – but at the time Pitchfork carried a lot of weight with blog boys and internet nerds on forums. Just look at the dude that does the Dissect podcast. You think that dude wasn't reading pitchfork and wasn't influenced by them? He then creates a huge hit podcast talking about how amazing the album is and then that influences a bunch of people.
You are literally making up numbers
I lived thru MBDTF like allot of people did. I can’t imagine anyone habitually skimming thru Pitchfork waiting for a 10/10 to drop and forcing themselves to like that s***. I just can’t see your vision
mbdtf wasn't that good y'all need to chill
Like, it was good but they be gassing the hell out that s*** lol. But it is a Kanye forum, so I get it
mbdtf wasn't that good y'all need to chill
It’s good but definitely his “oscar bait” album
I still feel like the love MBDTF gets is more due to everything surrounding the era, the bs drama in the media, and the imagery, the visuals like the iconic Red suit performance. don't get me wrong it's still a Great album, but people worship it because of more than the music. it might be a trash opinion, but to me it's the probably the least interesting album content wise that Kanye released during what most would call his "peak".
I kinda agree with this. It’s a GOAT Kanye era and people associate that with the album
The fact that niggas think that Kendrick is actually capable of dropping a MBDTF tier classic is beyond me
I’d bet on Drake way before I would Kendrick
TPAB better than MBDTF, lesbihonessttttt
TPAB better than MBDTF, lesbihonessttttt
an opinion I don't mind tbh TPAB is a masterpiece
This question should rephrased as who as their own “Whats Going On?” In their roster. MBDTF isnt the greatest album of all time lol
nobody
MBDTF was a massive commercial success and had ginormous radio hits, was beloved by critics, and all the die-hard fans loved it
anyone who could make one would.

Aquemini and Stankonia

oh absolutely and i personally like both those albums more than MBDTF
i just meant that there’s nobody rn that’s capable of making that level of music that’s choosing not to out of some fear of losing commercial viability or something
every single artist that could be in that kendrick, outkast, kanye level of crossover success would be doing it if they could
To me there’s only 3 other hip hop albums that are in the same tier as mbdtf and they are to pimp a butterfly, aquemini, and madvillainy. Tyler the creator is close to dropping something amazing he’s like knocking on the door. Childish gambino could as well too if he got more serious with it.

Yeah people calling the album Oscar bait are not acknowledging that planets have to align even for a god-level artist to pull off this kind of perfection and it only happens once or twice a decade
MBDTF was so revered that past few years people have started picking it apart to the point it’s becoming underrated. Album is pretty f***ing perfect. Sounds exactly like it’s title.
In no universe will MBDTF will ever be close to becoming underrated lol
